(4) The Commissioners may delay the acceptance of an application for relief from duty in respect of any goods for the purposes of paragraph (3) above for any period not exceeding 7 days from the date of the opening of the quota, and in such a case may, if the amount of the quota is smaller than the total amount of the goods in respect of which applications are made during that period, allocate the quota proportionally among all the applicants whose applications are accepted.

(5) Goods shall not be treated as forming part of the relevant quota if customs duty would not otherwise be chargeable.
